Ian Morgan Cron awakens people to the truth about themselves and their lives. He uses enneagram to help people get clarity around their personality and the way they've chosen to interpret a situation. He also helps us understand suffering in an objective way, walking us through the transformative process of reevaluating what we've been through.
"When we allow difficulties to carve out space within us," says Cron, "It can feel empty, but it leaves room for your greatest self to emerge." Ian details the difference between accepting a situation and resigning to it, a critical difference that will allow you to move past the negativity and break through to the other side.
"Human beings are processes; we move toward wholeness," says Cron. "We ebb and flow like the tides."
